Super Replay – Overblood

Here at Game Informer, we have a staff of experienced gamers that have played and defeated just about every game you can imagine. However, we were utterly defeated by one particular title last summer...1997's Overblood. I had the main game picked for our Revolution X episode of Replay, but I needed to grab something from the vault for our Roulette game. I scanned the Playstation section and spotted Overblood, an EA-published game that I had never even heard of. What followed was perhaps the most unsuccessful moment of our gaming careers, and it was all caught on tape. With Tim at the controls and Reiner, Matt Helgeson, and myself trying to figure out what to do, we froze to death in the very first room of the game.

Well, we're back for revenge. We vow to play through the entirety of this completely forgettable survival horror title, and we're giving you lucky readers the chance to watch the drama unfold. Enjoy.

1/10 UPDATE: The password thing might have gotten messed up since people posted them in the comments, but our readers have put together a Facebook group for people that watched all six parts. Join and mourn the loss from Part 2 with others that know your pain.

Awesome way to end the year!!! I've been waiting on this since that roulette. I'll get back with my thoughts later.

After Episode 1: Holy crap, that was insane!!! I really couldn't comprehend the big screw you that the statue and door were. This is really difficult looking, also at the beginning I was screaming, "Put the chip in the robot!" Also who and where should we email the pass codes to?

And props to Ben, you've been kicking butt with these videos and your helpful tips and trivia for the others, keep it up man.

After Episode 2: Well the combat looks very intuitive, and the Hypnotoad sound is gone finally. Also I had to pause for about a minute after the Pipo scream I was crying so much, from laughter. Can't wait for the big reveal.

After Episode 3: It's good to see Tim has gotten in the mindset of doubting everything and crouching everywhere. Especially when you picked up the canister, I'm glad you guys realized it would kill you. Also the train car, explosion, and giant fan deaths were ridiculous.

If only Pipo had been there, he would have warned you. Excited for episode 4.

After Episode 4: This was the dreariest episode yet, it seem like nothing happened other than going through several sets of rooms (the whole game so far). Also. the lack of mention for Pipo by Raz was depressing. Best parts were definitely the deaths and the zombie fights. Keep it up guys, the end is near from what I can tell. Hopefully episode 5 has some good progress.

After Episode 5: This episode was great. The first person zombie fighting was pure awesome. Who would've thought fists were better than guns. Also glad to hear Dan's Bwahh joke a couple more times. Also very glad to see a vehicle segment and some real progress in the game. However, it's sad we have people on here who post the comments, despite being asked not to. They are why we can't have nice things.

Also, Ben, that was freaking hilarious at the end with all the clips of Tim talking and Raz DJing to Derezzed.

After Finale: I can't describe the greatness of this last episode. Two other (less cool) Pipos, Raz finds out he's a clone, Pipo actually saving the day, and the last minute escape that had me screaming for you to make it. Tim and Dan I have so much respect for you. This Super Replay in all had me laughing, crying, and hoping.

Ben the montages at the end had me crying laughing and real crying, for Pipo. The best were the walking music video and the Pipo remembrance montage. Great work throughout these episode and keep it up.

In all, great job guys. I can say without a shadow of a doubt I'm a better person because of watching all of these. Thanks so much for taking 7 hours to show us this and to make it interesting and funny none the less. Keep up the amazing work and never forget Pipo.

I can't believe you guys are actually doing this. This is great!
Edit: I feel so bad for you guys. Having to actually play this...

I haven't even been able to watch part 2 yet. I think it's my computer. So I definitely can't watch part 3 yet. What a drag... Also, why are some people posting the EXACT same thing they were asked not to post? You gotta E-mail the stuff to Ryckert. C'mon, community.
Okay, I got part 2 working. I've been listening to this replay with studio headphones in my laptop, and I gotta say... that humming relay noise is close to unbearable. It feels like my brain is trying to beat my eyeballs out of my head.

Part 4 has to be one of the funniest replays I've ever seen!
Dan as an old man dying: "..and I love you and you... BAAAAAAAAAAAA!" priceless

That was the finale to end all finales! When Raz finally figured out that he was a clone I was like "And the last horse crosses the finish line!". I'm glad we got to see more of were-wolf vamire zombie form Raz. The only crappy thing is I guess there's no hope in resurrecting Pipo (R.I.P.) now...
Goodbye, little metal friend. You could open a door with the best of em'.

Is it just me or does the flash plugin keep on crashing.
Rest in Pieces PIPO
55:23 was the best scene of part 5 so funny!
DJ Wienerless Steve FTW! (Derezzed is a great song)
BWWAAAAAHHHH!! That taser looks like an omniwrench !
Great compilation at the end. Nice job guys.

Yay! Super replay! At least an hour of my day will be filled with joy! And, Oh boy! it's....
overblood?....
oh....
you guys are all a little masochistic huh?

Edit: My god, these videos are so funny. This game is just one of those so bad it is good types, I can't wait to see what happens next.

WOW! part three nearly killed me. I was laughing so hard I had to keep rewinding cause I was missing too much. When weinerless steve tells millie of pipo and the time they had together it was one of the most amazing (ly bad) moments of gameing history ever. It was nothing compaired to the last 20 minutes of part 3, though, I almost choked to death with laughter at the "fight"! And then, for a brief moment i thought the game was over. Thank god it isn't. Please dont make us wait 2 days for part 4!

Just watched the entire run of over blood and I have to say, Im kinda sad its over. I want to talk about so many things I loved about this super replay, but i dont want to leave spoilers so let me just say that everything was awesome, the movies at the end were amazing, and I would have sat through all restarts, even if the cut scenes were only fart noises, or maybe especially if the cut scenes were just fart noises. anyway, thank you for this look at over blood, pipo, i miss ya buddy.

Yes overblood! What a terrible game, im so glad you guys decided to do a super replay.

Great job guys, thanks for doing thinks like replays and super replays. No matter what it always makes me laugh. I loved the montages at the end, especially the pipo one. On a side note what are we supposed to do with the words for each episode, is there an email to send them to?

Part2: That first encounter kill should have been in 300 or something. Simply stunning choreography. After Part 1, I'm actually a little upset there aren't as many things just randomly killing you anymore!

this is actually what wikipedia says about it "Overblood is a video game series developed by Riverhillsoft and published by Electronic Arts for the PlayStation. Its gameplay is partially survival horror and partially adventure, BUT ALWAYS SCI FI."
